Book Review: Ever Faithful to His Lead: My Journey Away From Emotional Abuse by Kathleen Pooler

Kathleen Pooler grew up watching her parents have a happy
marriage and one day wanted to have the type of love they shared. But she soon
realized life isn’t a fairy tale.

Ever Faithful to His Lead chronicles Pooler’s life growing
up in a loving family, earning her nursing degree, and surviving two abusive
marriages. Through her words, Pooler paints a picture of what it was like
living in a house with an emotionally abusive husband. As you read her
recollections of events, you feel the pain she went through, the red flags she
ignored, and the courage it took for her to step up and leave her husbands.

What I loved most about Pooler’s book is how real it felt, I’ve
read a couple of memoirs where the events seemed over the top and dramatic.
With Pooler, it isn’t like that, her written account of events was candid and
you could feel her emotions during those events.

Pooler’s story is one about strength, courage,
self-discovery, and faith. It’s a book, I highly recommend for all women.
